impecunious collector Of cash.

residence, so that he may help to
down Grover next year.
Mr.. S. A. Graham, Of Melville
township, favored this office with
large and luscious watermelon last
Saturday, though he evidenced
lack of confidence in emitting to give
us information as to the location CT
the patch. Mr.. Graham believes
that Audubon county will raise an
average crop Of corn this year, and
substantiates his belief by the fact
that such was the case eight years
ago, when it was so dry that the
'Botna ceased to flow.
The officers Of the Audubon
county fair association are exerting
every effort to make the coming ex.
hibition grand success. New
